This opens the door for Lita’s moonsault, and she pins Trish. Albert breaks up the pin, so the Hardys take him outside. She plants Lita with a bulldog, yet Lita answers with a superplex. It knocks her into Test’s gut-wrench bomb. Plus, Lita does a tornado DDT and a flying hurricanrana on Test, but Albert gives Lita a cheap shot. This lasts until Matt tags and performs a flying clothesline. Test also lands a sit-out bomb and full nelson slam. She joins the Hardys in a triple suplex on Test and Trish! However, Jeff finds himself in trouble after T&A hits a double gorilla press. Next, Trish slaps Test by accident, and she runs when Lita tags. Then Jeff does a slingshot crossbody on Test. The Match: Matt fends off Test and Albert before nailing the Drop Shot (diving leg drop). This time, T&A held Lita down while Trish whipped her with the referee’s belt. Despite her injuries, Lita came after Trish again. Later, Lita and Trish fought on top of a ladder before Trish shoved Lita onto one of the Dudleys’ tables. The object was to remove your opponent’s street clothes, so Steven Richards censored it.

![]() He doesn't have many synergies with other towers, rather acting primarily as a source of supportive DPS, although he does pair decently with Berserker Brew and above upgrades. By late-game, he mostly acts as generalized MOAB-class demolition. That being said, his value becomes even better during the mid-game with his Rapid Shot and Storm of Arrows upgrades, and even later on he becomes a powerful DPS source during the late-game. Quincy is a valuable hero, mostly because he is affordable at the start of all normal game modes other than Half Cash. Initially deals 6 damage per strike, +6 to MOAB-class, and Level 20 raises the damage to 10 to ordinary bloons and +10 to MOAB-class.Ĭooldown for the ability is 70 seconds, 55 seconds at Level 18+. Percentage chance increases from 5% to 7.5% at Level 18-19, and to 10% at Level 20. Levels 18 and 20 add more arrows and damage on top of the existing ability. Whenever struck, the bloon takes damage, double damage to MOAB-class. Bloons have a percentage chance of getting struck inside the radius every one frame of 60 FPS, with a minimum cooldown of 0.05s per hit. It initially gives triple attack speed, increased to quadruple speed at Level 15+.Ĭooldown of 60 seconds, 45 seconds at Level 15+.Ĭovers a large area in a deadly rain of arrows, popping affected bloons in its wide 100 radius. The duration is 3.5s at Level 3 and increases by +0.5 seconds every level, up to 12s. Rapid Shot increases Quincy's attack speed substantially for (level/2 + 2) seconds. Quincy has two activated abilities: Rapid Shot (Level 3+), and Storm of Arrows (Level 10+). See also: Activated Abilities (BTD6)#Quincy This format, which consists of adding the "Activated Abilities" Header 2 section containing a bunch of information about the activated abilities, should be standardized across all Hero articles in BTD6, and maybe also BTDB2 too Quincy's relative XP gain is 1x, and he is the basis for fast-leveling heroes. His upgrades can also be immediately bought with cash, though the amount of cash required to purchase the next upgrade will typically increase as the upgrades get higher, making self-upgrading an important element for his overall power. He earns more XP each round to unlock his next upgrade irrespective of how many bloons he pops. Quincy will start upgrading himself every round upon placement. The skin costs 2500 to unlock, just like Cyber Quincy. ![]() He also wears small tufts of white wolf fur on his head and his suit. In the 15.0 update, he was given a second new skin, named Wolfpack Quincy, alongside a new appearance and new voice lines. He also wears an eyepatch on his left eye(right eye on the artwork). ![]() Quincy's bow, arrows and suit outlines are now cyan colored. In the 5.0 update, he was given a new skin, named Cyber Quincy, alongside a new appearance and new voice lines. He also appears to be wearing a carbon suit with orange outlines and a few pouches. Quincy appears to be holding a compound bow with arrows with orange fletchlings at the ends. The first mention of Quincy was in a blog post by HayleyBelleNK on 23 November 2017, which has revealed Quincy's silhouette, along with a note that reads "BTW, Quincy says 'Hi.'" Quincy has been the hero shown the most in social media, and is the starting hero of the game. He was part of the initial release of the game (alongside Gwendolin, Striker Jones and Obyn Greenfoot). If Hero Favors is enabled, he will cost $410 on Easy, $485 on Medium, $525 on Hard, and $585 on Impoppable. He costs $455 on Easy, $540 on Medium, $585 on Hard, and $650 on Impoppable. He is an all-around Hero with a decent attack speed, good against popping early-game bloons, and is cheap enough to start with him in most games. His main attack is an arrow that ricochets off of 3 targets. He specializes in archery-related weaponry. Quincy is a Hero in the game Bloons TD 6. ![]() Proud, strong and intelligent, Quincy uses his bow to perform feats of amazing skill. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ask for references and examples of their previous work.

This produces heat, which hardens the rubber over time. Every time a belt passes around a pulley, it bends and flexes. With belts, heat and mileage are the main causes of wear. However these added benefits come at a price, because they are about twice as much to replace than V-belts. This helps them last longer, only needing to be replaced every five years or 50,000 miles. They are more flexible and run cooler than V-belts. Serpentine belts are what is installed on most new cars. The incidence of failure rises sharply after three years. V-belts should be replaced every three years or 36,000 miles. While they do not have the same life span as a serpentine belt, they are not as expensive to be replaced. V-belts are typically found on older vehicles. There are two types of drive belts that car manufacturers use. Accessory Drive Beltsĭrive belts are another important maintenance item that should be replaced on schedule before they break and leave you stranded. While it is not required, it is recommended that the water pump be replaced at the same time as the timing belt because these also wear out over time, and you can save yourself some of the cost of labor by having the two replaced at the same time. On most cars with timing belts, the water pump is also driven by the timing belt. While you will still need to be towed to a repair facility, usually a new belt is all that is required to make the car run again. ![]() In these engines if the belt breaks the engine will stop running and will prevent internal damage from occuring. If your vehicle is not an "interference engine" it is known as a "free-running engine". In worst case scenarios, the engine may need to be replaced. This usually involves open valves becoming bent as they strike the pistons, which results in expensive engine damage. In "interference engines", when the timing belt breaks severe internal engine damage can occur. However, on some vehicles the engines are refered to as "interference engines." If this occurs the engine will stop running and will not restart. If the belt isn't changed it will eventually break. This is typically at 90,000 miles, but see our timing belt replacement guide for vehicle-specific information. Most manufacturers recommend that the timing belt be replaced on schedule, as a form of maintenance. Unfortunately, like other rubber componants, timing belts wear out and must be replaced. This is why it is so important that the timing belt and tensioner be in good working condition all the time. ![]() The timing between camshafts, valves, pistons, and the crankshaft are so precise that if it is off even just one degree, the engine may not run or worse cause severe damage. Timing belts are critical compenants to ensuring a reliable running engine. For more information concerning each type of belt and when they should be changed click the links below. The drive belt is responsible for using the engine's revolutions to drive the power steering pump, a/c compressor, alternator, water pump, and other belt driven accessories. (Hence the term timing belt.)Īccessory drive belts are used to drive all the accessories that run off the front of the engine. The timing belt is responsible for making sure the engine's crankshaft, pistons, and valves operating insync or in time. Older vehicles use to have timing chains, but newer modern cars have changed to timing belts because they are much lighter, quieter, and more efficient. While they are similiar in nature to make up and what they do, they are very different. On most modern cars there is two kinds of belts timing belts and accessory drive belts. ![]() ![]() ![]() How do these social implications influence our design choices? UX designers are tasked with optimizing the user experience. I’d be interested to see additional research on how AI abuse affects our communications with others, especially considering the prevalence of female AI. ![]() While results vary amongst the research, some studies have concluded that playing long-term exposure to sex-typed video games are correlated with greater tolerance of sexual harassment and rape myth acceptance. In a similar scenario, studies have examined the influence of violence and sexual objectification of women in video games on rape myth acceptance, or the internalization of attitudes that justify or excuse rape. Brahnam has stated that “If we’re practicing abusing agents of different types, then I think it lends itself to real world abuse.” It is troubling if the harassment of female chatbots may contribute to the already widespread issue of sexual harassment towards women. Brahnam’s research found that users direct more sexual and profane comments towards female-presenting chatbots than male presenting chatbots. In my opinion, though, these female virtual assistants perpetuate the stereotype that women are subservient. Research shows that across cultures, we affiliate qualities such as kindness, helpfulness, warmth, and communicative, which may be why people prefer female voices for their chatbots. While some identify as gender-neutral, the default voice is typically that of a woman. With the emergence of AI virtual assistants, like Siri, Alexa, and Google Home, the majority of the personas are female. If our behavior towards AI may be mimicked by our children and influences our treatment of each other, there could be significant implications for gender dynamics. If our behavior towards AI may be mimicked by our children and influences our treatment of each other, there could be significant implications for gender dynamics This might be most dangerous to our children, who learn by imitating those around them. While we might not be able to offend Siri or Alexa, we can definitely offend those who overhear us. Therefore, practicing this behavior towards virtual assistants could bleed into our interactions with other beings. However, studies have shown that venting does not reduce emotion, but rehearses it. People who are encouraged to express their anger are actually more aggressive in their interaction with others. We may argue that abusing AI is a way of letting off steam on an inanimate object, rather than an actual person. An article in the Harvard Business Review suggests that yelling at technology represents poor leadership. Since AIs lack emotional capability, does that mean these actions are harmless? Though abusing a virtual assistant may seem innocuous, this behavior reflects back on our character. One purpose of verbal abuse is to cause harm. Justine Cassell, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon, states that “The more human-like a system acts, the broader the expectations that people may have for it.” As virtual assistants do not visually indicate their functionality, we may assume they have more abilities than they actually do or probe to better understand those limitations. Artificial intelligence may be crossing into the realm of Uncanny Valley, a phenomenon where a design that is similar, but not identical, to a human being causes a very negative response to this simulated likeness. When speaking to a bot at a call center, raising our voices often gets us to a human representative more quickly, as it can be frustrating to deal with a computer. ![]() To address this problem, we first need to understand why people are mean to virtual assistants. While UX designers strive to create the ideal experience, what does it say about our society if cruelty is tolerated and widespread? What is our ethical responsibility as designers to accommodate or not? Many in the UX field are now considering hedonomics, or the “branch of science and design devoted to the promotion of pleasurable human-technology interaction”. Sheryl Brahnam, Assistant Professor in Computer Information Systems at Missouri State University, 10%-50% of our interactions with conversational agents (CAs) are abusive.ġ0%-50% of our interactions with conversational agents (CAs) are abusive. When faced with unfamiliar artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of chatbots, from AIM’s SmarterChild to Apple’s Siri, humans try to push the boundaries of its capability. We probably all have our own stories of asking inappropriate questions or saying mean things to chatbots. Sometimes, these defamations were unsolicited, with people sending insults before ever asking a technical question. While fielding questions from customers through online help, my coworkers and I would be cursed out by people who mistook us as chatbot or virtual assistants. ![]() ![]() ![]() You don't want to build your perfect house in the middle of a desert or a swamp, do you?

Now while this drinking game is quite simple, there are many different ways you can play it. So you get to play Mario Kart and get drunk all at the same time. Well, this drinking game aims the same as any other, to win, of course! However, like the vast majority of drinking games, winning or losing isn’t overly important. The Mario Kart drinking game is often played with the newest version, namely Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. To play the Mario Kart drink game, you’ll need alcohol (and plenty of it), a copy of Mario Kart, and the necessary console to play it on. So, if you are entirely new to it, you should learn the controls quite quickly. But thankfully, Mario Kart (in all its iterations) is quite an easy game to play. You’ll need to know the fundamentals of Mario Kart and have a handle on the controls if you want to play. For example, you might need to complete a Truth or Dare challenge (like in King’s Cup) or spin around a few times before taking a drink. Some rulesets involve other actions that must be completed if you lose a game alongside drinking. But the basic rules involve the players having to drink if they fall off the track, get hit by items, or lose the race. There are numerous different rulesets for this drinking game, and you can easily create your own. Namely, you can blame the people of the internet who found a way to change a kart racing video game into a drinking game! But we aren’t complaining, because this game is sure to be a good time. This fun drinking game came to life much as the Shrek drinking game did. In this guide, we’ll look at the rules you need to know and list what exactly you need to play this quirky drinking game.

In Florida, as well as in many other states, changes to rules and enforcement measures typically require a majority vote by community members. Members could make a case against the rule’s enforcement on the basis that it never applied in practice in the past.Īssociations must follow the procedures and bylaws whenever new rules, enforcement measures or amendments to Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) are proposed. For example, when rules are enforced unevenly (so that they apply to certain members but do not generally apply to all members) then a case could be made that the HOA or COA is discriminating against or even harrassing certain individuals.Īssociations must take care when a given rule that had not been historically enforced is suddenly now being enforced. Department of Housing and Urban Development is responsible for the Fair Housing Act’s enforcement.Īssociations can also be found to be discriminating against an individual for personal reasons. Violations of the Fair Housing Act carry significant penalties if found to be true. The Fair Housing Act is a federal law that prevents discrimination based on race, national origin, sex, ethnicity, disability, religion and family status. If an HOA ever appears to target a specific member or a protected class of people, the chances are that the rules in question could be deemed unenforceable in a court of law. HOAs and COAs must apply their rules fairly among their membership and refrain from discrimination. Discriminate or Selectively Enforce Rules Knowing the limits of an HOA or COA’s authority allows members to protect their legal rights and prevents associations from overstepping boundaries and potentially creating liability.ġ. Although the powers of associations are overarching, there are unenforceable HOA rules in certain situations. Associations are permitted to restrict, control and regulate the activities of their members all with the ultimate goal of increasing the market values of the properties they govern. In order to avoid the four legal defenses described above, community associations need to enforce (through proper procedures) the covenants they have enacted and guard their legal rights.Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and Condo Associations (COAs) have been given broad legal authority to create and enforce rules within their communities. The association only waives its right to enforce the covenant for similar violations it ignored in the past. By tolerating or accepting certain violations of the covenant, the HOA may indicate that it does not intend to enforce that covenant. WaiverĪ homeowner’s association may “waive” its rights by not enforcing the covenants in the present. If by that time the HOA does nothing, the trespassing property owner can take legal title to the land. In many jurisdictions, this has to happen for 15 years. For an adverse possession claim, the property owner must openly maintain physical possession of this common area and exclude others in the community from using it. Sometimes, if a property owner trespasses on a common area by a few feet, an HOA may lose the right of title to this strip of land. A court needs to determine that because the violations are so widespread and actions enforcing the covenant do not exist, the covenant is effectively abandoned. Generally, to prove abandonment, the individual asserting the defense must show that a reasonable person would believe the covenant ceased to exist due to frequent and extensive violations. The restrictions set forth by an HOA are never absolute and a court may terminate the covenant in certain circumstances. Homeowner’s associations (HOA) often utilize this type of agreement in the documents that form the association– Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. A restrictive covenant is a type of agreement in a contract that restricts a land owner’s use of the property or imposes obligations on the owner of the properties. ![]() ![]() ![]() All you need to do is simply play through your rhythm progression instead of playing the lead.

Sam Phillips produced the track and the musicians were Johnny Cash on vocals and guitar, Luther Perkins (guitar), and Marshall Grant (bass). The original recording of Folsom Prison Blues was recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis Tennessee. “I sat with my pen in my hand, trying to think up the worst reason a person could have for killing another person, and that’s what came to mind.” The line “But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die” came from Cash trying to come up with the worst possible reason for one person killing another. Jenkins was not credited on the original record but after the song became popular, Cash paid Jenkins a settlement of approximately $75,000 following a lawsuit. Cash took the melody, and some lyrics from Gordon Jenkins’ Seven Dreams concept album, specifically the song Crescent City Blues. Cash was inspired to write Folsom Prison Blues after seeing the movie Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison while in West Germany, serving in the United States Air Force. ![]() |
